Howard Hanson


Howard Hanson, whose parents were of Swedish origin, began to study music when he was only seven years old. His formal music studies took place at three institutions: the University of Nebraska, the Institute of Musical Art in New York City (later to be better known as the Juilliard School) and finally at Northwestern University, Illinois, from which he graduated in 1916. Later he taught theory and composition at the College of the Pacific at San José, California from 1918 to 1921, when he won the first American Prix de Rome. During the three years that he spent in Rome he studied with Respighi and his first symphony, subtitled ‘Nordic’, was performed for the first time by the Augusteo Orchestra of Rome in 1922.
